BOW OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ARE MADE.

An article in the Century for January dis
cusses "How Prohibition Grows" The writer
thinks that as yet most Americans are some
what Indifferent and undecided on the tenn
perance question, but that the number of Pro-
hibitionists is steadily increasing. This is not
due, he thinks, to prohibition speeches or
documents, because, while these are listened
to or read approvingly by confirmed Prohibit
tionists, they make very few converts The
converts, it is held, are mainly due to the
action of the liquor interest, manufacturers
and dealers, in putting themselves aggressive
ly before the public under the pretext Of pro-
tecting their own interests. The opposition
to the liquor interest thus aroused takes diff
ferent forms; in most cases perhaps it is "only
a feeling of anger against the party which has
been the agent of the organization; in small
er number there appears somewhat vague
willngnesssto appear as the public opponent
of the saloon in politics. still smaller num-
Der will account for the steady increase in the
absolute Prohibition vote" These are all
part of one movement, and the drift
| is strongly against the liquor interest. The
| Century writer discusses the question in
| candid spirit, and concludes that 'twhether
the stream of opposition is to remain narrow
torrent of absolute prohibition, or is to spread
out into the broad reservoir of high license
and moral opposition to sthe saloon, will de-
pend very much on the power, for it is 6
power which is now engaged in the defense
of the manufacture and sale of intoxcants in
the United States. It may, if it will, make
this prohibition country" We call atten
| city, for they are not new. Precisely the
same views have been expressed again and
But the fact that they now find strong expires

where Rapid as the growth of the liquor
movement has been during the last decade o.
two the growth Of the anti-liquor movement
has been still greater, and no one thing ha
contributed more to its growth than the az
gressiveness of the liquor interest, and espe
cially its attempts to shape politics. Nothin!
in the future can be more certain than tina
the ''saloon in politics" must go.

THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE TO BIEo,

~
One of the strongest points in favor of the
validity of the election Of acknowledgement
Robertson is that all vacancies in elective Of
fees should be filled by the people at the first
general election after the vacancy occurs
that as the elective power belongs to the peo-
pie it should return to them to be exercised at
the first opportunity, instead of being thwarted
or unduly postponed by some intermediate
power. The theory in general terms is, that
in case of vancancy in Office elective power
should always revert to its original possessor
to be exercised at the earliest regular oppor-
tunity. Section IS, Article of the Constitu-
ton illustrates the idea. That section
Of the General Assembly, a vacancy
shall happen in any Office, the appointment to
which is vested in the General Assembly; or
when, at any time, vacancy shall have oc-
CURED in any other State Office or in the Of
fee of judge Of any court, the Governor shall
fill such vacancy by appointment, which shall
expire when a successor shall have been elected
| and qualified" This section clearly implies
that an appointment by the Governor to fill
any vacancy is only pro tempore, and that the
elective power revert in one case to
| the Legislature and in the Z case to the
people, to be exercised in both cases
at the first opportunity. Thus in the
case of vacancy in the Office of United
| States Senator happening during the recess
of the General Assembly the Governor may
appoint, for how longY For the unexpired
term? No, but until the next meeting of the
Legislature. to whom the power of electing
cised at the first opportunity. The United
| States Senate has held that Senator APP
| pointed by Governor to fill vacancy cannot
hold beyond the next session of the Legis
lature. So, in the case of State officer or
Judge of the Supreme Court elected for 81,
years. If one of these should die inmedi
ately after his election the Governor would
fill the vacancy by appointment, not for th'
remainder of the unexpired term, but unit
the next general election. Thus, in every
case where it can be applied the principle il
| recognized that the elective power, temporar
lily interrupted by an executive appointment
to fill a vacancy always reverts to the origina
depository to be exercised at the earliest op
portunity.

THE latest practical application of electricity
is to letter box designed to expedite the de-
livery of mail matter. In all large cities letter.
carriers are more or less delayed by the waiting
for persons to answer their doorbells, to receive
mail To obviate the difficulty. some houses
have boxes with ar opening in the front door to
receive mail matter, but the objection to these
is that important letters sometimes lie there foe
some time without being removed. The new
electric device consists of letter-box to be
placed at the door This box has an electric
connection with another box to be placed in
| conspicuous position in the house, and the drop
ping of even so light thing as postal card
into the box at the door rings small bell In the
house and displays disk, which will remain ex-
| posed until cord is pulled to return it to its
| place. The device is Boston invention and a
company has been formed there to Introduce it.

three times day, amounted to $685. during the

sidered to have failed entirely; 6o8, or 6.32 per

per cent. were one-half verified; 1861 or IT, 20
per cent. were three fourths verified, and 4,9l9

dictions are based on scientific facts and framed
with scientific care. but the conditions are so
various that it would be unreasonable to expect
absolute accuracy. In the main they are pretty
reliable.
